howerton Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I put hard disk files on my sd card and when I see them on my st they are just a lot of scrambled files with weird gibberish names. How do I put the files on my sd card and get my st to recognize them and play the games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGB1718 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I think it depends on how you formatted the card as to whether the ST can read the disk and the driver you are using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howerton Posted January 20, 2023 Author Share Posted January 20, 2023 I have used drive imager but I cannot write to the sd card with the files on it required to run on a real st. The current game files on the card run fine. But when I use drive imager for file transfer nothing happens. I have followed the instructions on the website to a T. I have run the program as admin as well. I just want to transfer the hard disk game file to the sd and have my st read them. I am using a 1040stfm.

It looks like you have an ancient TOS such 1.0 or 1.02; and the SD card format can´t be correctly read by these old TOS. Try using a ready to use TOS 1.0 or 1.02 SD card image, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
